About "J.S. Bach: Christ ist erstanden, BWV 276" by Augsburger Domsingknaben
Bach's 'Christ ist erstanden' is a compact chorale of resurrection. The Augsburger Domsingknaben sing with sturdy, unadorned faith, each phrase a stone rolled from the tomb. Yet the harmony darkens briefly—a shadow of the cross—before light breaks through. This is Easter as both triumph and quiet, unsettling mystery.
